Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored twice as Leeds came from two goals down to beat Liverpool 4-2 in a pre-season friendly in Chicago.
Andoni Iraola's side stormed into a half-time lead with goals from 22-year-old defender Luke Chambers and Florian Wirtz, before Leeds stunned them with a fightback after the break, Brendan Aaronson halving the deficit before Calvert-Lewin levelled.
Sean Longstaff quickly made it 3-2, with Calvert-Lewin adding a fourth late on.
Reds defender Chambers, who spent last season on loan at Charlton, opened the scoring after seven minutes, finishing after Dominik Szoboszlai's corner had been flicked on.
Jeremie Frimpong set up Wirtz to make it 2-0 five minutes before the break, but on the hour Leeds began their recovery when Aaronson scored following a mistake by Milos Kerkez – who gave possession away to Ethan Ampadu.
Ampadu's long throw then set up Calvert-Lewin to level, then minutes later Curtis Jones' carelessness allowed Longstaff in to put Leeds in front.
And it was the same story five minutes from time when again Ampadu's throw left Liverpool in a defensive mess, allowing Calvert-Lewin in to seal it.
